Instructions
Creating Sweet Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until combined.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Cream: Gradually pour in the heavy whipping cream while stirring gently. Mix until the dough comes together. Do not overmix!
- Knead Lightly: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times until it’s smooth. Form it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Cut Biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds from the dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Prep Strawberries: While the biscuits are cooling, prepare the strawberries. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with powdered sugar, if using. This adds extra sweetness and draws out juices.
- Assemble: Slice the biscuits in half. Layer the sliced strawberries and whipped cream on the bottom half, then cover with the top half.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors in each bite!
